Summary:

The CFIA regulates Canada’s importation of animal and animal products to control diseases regulated by the OIE. The diseases they are most concerned with are foot and mouth disease, swine vesicular disease, African swine fever, and hog cholera. The introduction of any one of these diseases would be detrimental to the industry. The producer’s role in disease prevention is to have very strict biosecurity. Any disease outbreak must be reported to a veterinarian. The CFIA has a prepared plan of action in an event where a foreign animal disease enters Canada. The veterinarians are able to order animal destruction, but disposal methods must be followed by provincial standards. Compensation from such an act is described by the Health of Animals Act (Section 51), and includes amount of compensation, maximum value, and additional compensation. When an FAD is diagnosed, the facility will be quarantined by the CFIA. Then an investigation will be carried out, and all contacts with the barn will be quarantined as well. Investigation will be carried out in facilities of close proximity. Once the disease is confirmed in the initial facility, the NCFAD (National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease) will order the animals destroyed. With readily available information, this process can be completed within 48 hours of disease suspicion.
